樂天KOBOEx-military operative Mondrian Delacroix thought her days of high-stakes missions were behind her. But when the reclusive augmented humans of Arkhide come calling with a puzzle even they can’t solve, Mon finds herself unable to refuse.
The assignment seems straightforward: travel to an underwater base and assist with a perplexing linguistic challenge. For years, the Arkhideans have been detecting strange signals from the depths of their oceans-patterns that defy conventional analysis and hint at something far beyond their understanding.
As a rare individual with the ability to Listen-to ＂hear＂ far beyond normal human range-Mon begins to sense something in the strange transmissions that others have missed. Something that could change everything.
There’s a world down here that no one in the Cooperative Realm has ever heard of.
The Elders of Arkhide offers a fresh take on first contact stories in an immersive undersea world. Fans of Becky Chambers, C.J. Cherryh, and Julie E. Czerneda will love this novel.
